For example, I had it stuck in my head DS1 was a girl. Dreamed girl, felt girl, looked at girl stuff, had a girl name picked out, etc. Huge gender disappointment moment. Had I not accidentally seen his penis on the U/S, I would've broken down with our family rather than in the parking lot and on the hour and half drive home.

This makes me think maybe not a party is in order, BUT would it have been better if this happened someplace safe with your SO rather than in the parking lot / driving home?

we did with DS2(4 years ago). DH couldn't be at the anatomy scan so she had the gender pic in an envelope sealed. We opened it together when he got off work that night. So even though he couldn't be there we still got to find out together. No parties though no big reveal just us.

I love this and it's definitely what we're doing if I can't get a Monday u/s where DH can come

It was totally worth it. It took everything in me not to peak lol. I didn't and we shared finding out together. I told her ahead of time and she was super great and had me turn my head while she took the pic.

I asked mine to write, and put in an envelope. She was happy to do so, even taped them shut! I sent it to my mom and we are having a gender reveal party on the 25th!!! shes going to have a baker put blue or pink in a cake for the gender so when i cut it everyone finds out
